NHL makes bold new offer to NHLPA

Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - The National Hockey League and NHL Players
Association met for several hours through the early afternoon on Tuesday, with
a significant proposal from one side now on the table.

According to several Canadian sources, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has
offered the players union a plan which would result in a 50-50 split in all
hockey related revenues, no salary rollback, and the possibility of a full 82-
game regular season, set to begin in early November, if the NHLPA accepts
those terms.
